Farmville Strategy: How to Get English Cows From Your Nursery

As you may have already heard, you are able to place an English calf in your Nursery and have it grow into an English Cow.  Though you can do this and get an English cow from time to time, there is a method you can use to get many English cows every day. Here are the steps:

1. The first thing you should be aware of is that your nursery may give you things other than what you have in your nursery if you have had it for a while and harvested it with many types of babies.  So if you try this method and get something other than an English cow, this may mean that you need to build a new nursery.  So if you have to rebuild, make sure you keep your nursery at 20 capacity and no more and do not harvest it with anything but English calves.
2. The next step is to place one English calf in your nursery and the rest of your calves outside of your nursery.  Once your nursery is ready, harvest.  If you get an English cow, great.  If not, remove the calf and place it on your farm.  Then pick up a ready English calf with the hand moving feature and place it in your nursery.  Your nursery will be ready once again.  Harvest.  If you still get nothing.  Do the same steps again but this time, place the ready calf in and then place another calf to give you a total of two, then harvest.  Keep alternating the number of calves that you put in from one to two or three.  This gives you better chances of getting a Cow. 
3. Once you get an English cow, you can continue to try for cows until you run out of English calves; it is up to you.  Just know that with each English cow, you will loose an English calf that will grow up.

So, now that you understand this, you may have the problem of not having enough English calves.  This is an issue that I ran into so here are some things you can do to get more calves.

1. Find a handful of neighbor who have English cows and calves and who are interested in doing a calf swap with you.  So whenever you get an English calf either from your dairy or nursery, you will agree to send that friend the link.  Then whenever they get English calves from their nursery or dairy, they will do the same. 
2. I believe that nursery calves have 5 links all together and dairy calves have 10 links.  So a good number may be 3-5 friends. 
3. How to share links: The best way to share a link is to send it through chat if you see them on line. This may not always be possible so you can also send the link in a message or make it viewable only to the neighbors you share calves with.  If you have additional links after you share with your select neighbors, you can use a link shortener such as bit.ly to shorten your link and re-post to Facebook.
4. If your friends have English calves to share but are interested in receiving something different, then send them eggs or whatever they are looking for in exchange.  Keep doing this until you have a good number of calves or for as long as you are interested in making English cows.

By using these methods you should always have enough calves to use in order to grow up multiple English Cows.  Plus, once you get a lot of English cows you should have no problem getting them to breed in your dairies.  Farmville doesn't release new types of cows and horses to grow up in your nursery too often. However, when they do, remember that you can use this same technique to produce plenty of the new type of cow or horse.  So have fun with this one until the next new release. :)
